I don't know if I buy the reasoning in this article, but I agree that locking cell phones in a pouch is crazy. I would never go to a concert that made me do that.

This solution is tantamount to movie studios and cable companies trying to sue everyone that pirates media. It won't scale and it's a backwards solution rooted in denial about the reality of a changed world. Now we see these same companies finally turning around and embracing streaming as a medium, adapting.

Artists don't need to find a way to lock people's phones in a bag, they need to find a way to adapt to a changed environment.
